Charlton, Mass., Sept. 5. - Two persons were killed and thirteen injured, three or four probably fatally, as the result of a trolley car on the Worcester and South Bridge street railway system leaving the rails and crashing into a tree a mile east of this village early today.

The dead:
MISS GRACE NELSON, Springfield, 20 years old.
MISS MORAN.

The car was taking to Worcester a party of people who had been attending an "old home" dance in Charlton and was running at a high rate of speed. MISS NELSON was thrown through a window and was buried beneath the car which was overturned.
